Mexico in Seattle: Music & Dance Celebration

Town Hall, in partnership with El Centro de la Raza and KBCS 91.3 FM, celebrates the Mexican American experience in the United States through music, dance and song. Featured artists include Son de Madera from Vera Cruz, Mexico in their Pacific Northwest debut. This scintillating five member ensemble is considered among Mexico's finest exponents of Son Jarocho, the traditional song style, flavored with percussive dance, native to the state of Vera Cruz blending Spanish, African, and Indian influences; Los Texmaniacs, from San Antonio, Texas, the hot conjunto playing rollicking Tejano dance music, rock and roll favorites with a Mexican American lilt, with all flavored by a little rhythm and blues; Bailadores de Bronce, Seattle's outstanding Mexican folk dance ensemble performing regional dances with both groups; plus special guests to be announced. There'll be a dance floor in front of the Great Hall stage for audience members to kick up their heels. Presented in collaboration with El Centro de la Raza, Casa Latina, and the Rainier Valley Cultural Center.
